Who Are We?
The European Education and Learning Institute (EELI) is an adult education and training organisation committed to promoting lifelong learning, innovation, and European cooperation in the fields of education and training.
Our aim is to actively support the continuous development of knowledge, skills, and competences for learners of all ages, while strengthening transnational cooperation and exchange of good practices across Europe. Through our activities, EELI contributes to the objectives of the European Union in relation to inclusion, employability, digital transformation, and sustainable development.
We are based in the city of Rethymno, in the centre of Crete, Greece, and work in close collaboration with partner organisations, educational institutions, and stakeholders from different European countries.
Rethymno
EELI is based in Rethymno, a charming coastal city in the heart of Crete, where history, culture, and everyday life blend effortlessly. With its Venetian old town, narrow streets, sea views, and relaxed Mediterranean rhythm, Rethymno offers an inspiring environment for learning, creativity, and international collaboration.
Working with EELI means not only engaging in meaningful European projects, but also experiencing a place that encourages connection, reflection, and new ideas. Here, professional cooperation is combined with the warmth of Cretan hospitality and the beauty of the island.
